Photographer's Note

It is well known that there are many sheep in New Zealand. In 2017 there were 27.37 million sheep (and 4,5 million people). It is less known that there are 10.08 million cattle (3.61 million beef cattle and 6.47 million dairy cattle). I wonder who cares for them if there are few people? But even more surprising that there are 0.85 million deer. I have seen many deer farms (for meat) but they were a bit far from the bus.

Livestock farming is a widespread land use in New Zealand and contributes to the country economy. But high livestock numbers and the distribution of livestock across land environments can affect indigenous biodiversity and soil health (eg compaction). High livestock numbers and density in some land environments can also affect water quality, as nitrogen and bacteria from urine and faeces can leach into groundwater or run off the land into rivers and lakes.

Hello Malgo,
Lamb and beef are one of New Zealand's exports of course. Much is sent to the UK, the former colonial parent in refrigerated container ships. Very good panoramic capture showing this herd of cattle enjoying the beautiful countryside.

We were unable to visit the inside of the Capitole in Toulouse as there was a continual procession of weddings on the Friday afternoon and all day Saturday and entrance was by invitation only. On the Sunday of course it was closed :-(

Hello Malgo,
It's a beautiful panoramic view and the cows fill the field just as nicely as the sheep in the last photo. But I really think you have saturated the photo a bit too much. The colours are very heavy, especially the blue tone. Maybe this is what it looked like through the bus window, but a bit less of everything would have pleased my eyes more.
Sorry, but have a nice Saturday anyway. ;-)

Hi Malgorzata
Nice opportunistic picture taken from moving vehicle with heaps of rural charm and very beefy stuff there adding lots of liveliness. I love the colour richness and contrast against mountainous background. Excellent shot, Congrats
Best regards

Amazing repetition of the dairy cows and all of them are resting which is strange. A superb grab shot with excellent albeit a little over saturated color, and superb sharpness. The cheese from NZ is quite good. Tfs!

Hello Malgo,
A great wide panorama view of these very green fields, scattered with all these cows lying relaxed and calm in the grass. The mountains and trees make a great backdrop along with the clouds in the sky.

Hi, Malgo.
Sensational this great panoramic of the immense meadow so green and with a large number of cows, very quiet lying on the magnificent grass, beautiful perspective with the line of mountains in the background, magnificent also that sky with clouds.
Colorful, sharpness and luminosity are captured efficiently.
Very good composition, magnificent presentation.
Have a good weekend.
Warm greetings.
Luis.
